açai

Açai is a very popular Brasilian berry, and today I had my first açai experiece. They serve it sort of like a sorbert...or apple sauce type thing. They put granola and bananas on top. I went to church with my new friend Leonardo, he is also a student of mine. After church we went to a little late night hambuger joint called Bomba.

This is a close up of the açai dessert.

Also, I met another guy from Leonardo's church, Yuri, who is an English teacher.

Leonardo and Yuri trying to decide what to get next. They both thought that it would be funny to pretend that they are not from Brasil. So they spoke to the waiter only in English and tried to communicate....and also pretended that they didn't understand what the waiter was saying to them. It was pretty funny to watch, but I think that they might have pulled it off.

Apparentely açai turns your teeth purple.
